"Ackumulator" looks swedish - you mean "Accumulator".

Hmm, what are the rules for cc vs ck in english?

As far as I know, ck only goes on the end of words, or on compound words (backwards). Most of the time it's cc,though.

Compound words including things like loccer and soccer? :P

Close ;)
Compound words are words made up of two different words.

Desktop (Desk + top)
Backrub (Back + rub)
Homegrown (Home + grown)

Ah, OK. So the correct spleling is loccer then?

Nope, it's locker, everything in English has an exception. :)

Replace English with Everything.

You could argue that "locker" is short for "lock her" because that's what you do to lockers. :)

It is the word Lock with the suffix er.

-er, -or
Noun: person or thing that does something

So it would be similar to Iago's rule of compound words.

Yeah, ck is at the end of lock, and -er is a suffix.

English blows.
